“The Hindu Sultan Kadam is a very powerful prince. He possesses a numerous army and resides on a mountain at *Bichenegher*. This vast city is surrounded by three forts and intersected by a river, bordering on one side on a dreadful jungle, and on the other on a dale; a wonderful place and to any purpose convenient. On one side it is quite inaccessible; a road gives right through the town, and as the mountain rises high with a ravine below, the town is impregnable.
